The Civil Disobedience Movement, also known as the Salt Satyagraha, was launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930 to protest against the British salt monopoly in India. The movement involved acts of peaceful protest and nonviolent resistance, such as the famous Salt March where Gandhi and his followers walked to the Arabian Sea to make their own salt. The movement gained nationwide support and brought attention to the Indian independence movement, ultimately leading to increased pressure on the British government to grant independence to India.
The British had imposed salt tax. Mahatma Gandhi wanted to highlight the injustice of British Rule. Salt was a item of common use, a very basic item. The Mahatma realized that by highlighting the fact the something as basic as salt was taxed by a foreign power, he would be able to stir the common masses. Taxing salt is something like imposing tax on air. A just power, a just ruler would never do it. Mahatma wanted to highlight the fact that the British rule was inherently unjust. It not only looted the country but also taxed even the very basic requirement of an individual. Such was his understanding and his connect with the common masses, that Gandhi's Salt Satyagraha mobilized the entire country.
